Organic Cotton, Clothing and Underwear

Organic cotton is generally understood as cotton from non genetically modified plants. However, contrary to common minds, the entire production process is much more complicated than one could think. There's yet a general standard either globally or country-specific.

For truly organic cotton, it has to be grown without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides. Other than that, all dyes and materials being used on post-primary production much also be recyclable and environmental-friendly. They all have to be biologically decomposable. In the United States cotton plantations must also meet the requirements enforced by the National Organic Program (NOP), from the USDA, in order to be considered organic.

Organic cotton is an exceptional material choice for underwear as intimate wear could cause allergy in some people, particularly infants, babies and children. For adults, it provides an extra layer of protection to our skin as it contains no chemicals.
